ill go so far as to say, if we beat the seweridge swallowers and then put up a competetive show against the Storm who are pretty hot at the moment, ill be confident we will sneak into the top 8, I know thats a big call, and very very early. More the point im making is that if we cant beet them this weekend, without $$$$morley then we are no better than last years manly team.

Byso, I don't expect them to win. If you saw the Sharks/Panthers game they beat them all over the park and played really good football.

Cronulla have done us up twice in recent memory when we were "expected" to win....esp. a game at Brooky I remember when we were ahead by 20 at the break.

They are a really solid side & a better team than the Warriors, even without Noddy & Nutley.

This is the 2nd game of the Comp. so expectations are hard to trust. When we see half a dozen games then you can start to pick form a bit.........

ALL that said, I think our off season buys should make our team more consistent across the park, and more able to get results under pressure.

This game is pressure....1st home game at Brooky and a great opp. with the Sharks two best players sidelined. My gut feeling is that this side is up to the challenge....and if they do win it will be an excellent victory for all concerned....esp. us diehard fans ! 8)

Ask the Bears (if there were any left) about Rain. Better weather a few years back and Souths would still have some competition for the spoon - and Ryan would not have discovered the excellence of the Sea Eagles!
